FREE Printable Valentine Bingo Cards

by Karen Mendes | DIY, Free Stuff, Kid Stuff, Valentine's Day Ideas! | 0 Comments

My kids love playing Bingo, as do I. You can easily make your own Valentine Bingo Cards at home with cardstock and stickers. I made some Bingo cards for a Halloween party once using stickers. I printed out a bingo grid on cardstock. Then the kids each made their own card by placing the stickers wherever they wanted on the card. I then cut out squares of cardstock and put one of each sticker on the card stock as "cards". I choose a card and if they had that sticker, they marked their card. It was a lot of fun. But if you don't want to make them and you are planning a Valentine's Day get-together why not print these Valentine Bingo Cards for the kids instead of making some. These will...

Christmas Mantel Ideas for your Home I'm always looking for Christmas mantel ideas. I have two mantels in my house and plenty of decorations for them to look different.

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is reading Children's Christmas Stories. When my kids were little, we had a lot of Children's Christmas books and they loved reading them every year.
